HUNTING THE COON.

with less atlectation and more snap.
Hunters go from New Jersey to the
barren hills of Pennsylvania forty miles
or more away, and stand all day on
wind-swcpt runways waiting for
shot at the deer that never comes, or
tramp from morning till night through
swampy swails and brambly thickets
hunting the pheasant that fails to rise,
while a sport that famous men loved
and elevated and grew enthusiastic
over years ago, and from which no
hunter can return without pleasure and
profit, goes begging on every side OF
Us. The manner III which the oppor-
tunities offered by the hills and valleys
of Northern New Jersey for the rarest
of sport are neglected is enough to
make the bones of the dead and gone

rattle in their graves. The star-lit

The Governor RENTS the $1,000 Forfeit of
Sam Perkins on Two Swindlers' Bonds.

Governor Gray last evening RENTED the

Samuel E. Perkins upon aforfeited recognzance
bond, signed by Perkins and Simeon Coy. as
sureties for the appearance in court of John r.
Anderson and Charles Van SLACK. charged with
bunco-steering. Two weeks ago an execution
was issued against Perkins and Coy. but it was
never served. Both parties were notified that it
had been issued, and because Simeon boosted
that he had nothing that could be attached,
the friends of Perkins went to Governor Gray
and asked him TO remit the amount of the judg-
ment against Perkins. When the crooks for
fei.ed their bond it was generally understood
that they made their bondsmen safe. and it has
since been stated that Coy got most of the
wealth they sent back. This he denies, but
nevertheless he a very fine diamond pin
that Van SLACK wore when he was locked in the
station-house The friends of Coy were very in
dignant last night because the Governor had
not RENTED his part of the judgment. Sim
himself didn't have much to say. 'Oh. give
Sammy a chance; I'm kicking" was all he
would venture to remark.

An Astronomical Display.

NOW sun.
There is more attractive spectacle in sight
from this planet at the present than the celestial
levee that Venus is holding in the evening sky,
with the assistance of Saturn and those famous
brothers, Castor and Pollux. Last night they
formed a square, Venus and Saturn being the
lower pair Venus is at present west of Saturn.
Watch them for four five evenings to come
and you will see Venus slowly approach Saturn
all comparison the brightest of the group yet
Saturn is some $50 times large Venus
But he is upward of times far from the
earth Venus is. and proportionately still fur
Their from the sun, and it is the com animation of
these things that makes his light pale in com
parison with hers.
Both of the planets outshine their compan-
ions, Castor and Pollux; and here again the
element of distance comes in to mislead. The
fact is, if Castor and Pollux were TO
us as either Venus or Saturn they would turn
and big ones, too. There is lots of room in the

To say that 1.-The tally sheet fxers look upon the
prosecution as favorable to the defense" but it
is common talk that their hope OF escape is with

course they had taken, and warmly defending

there will be no trouble in discreditng Samuel

he had followed the instructions given him by an

avoided all trouble. The whole story about
these evidence-fxers and the witnesses they
fixed is coming out
